Pyruvate Accumulation Is the First Line of Cell Defense against Heat Stress in a Fungus

Heat tolerance is well known to be key to fungal survival in many habitats, but our mechanistic understanding of how organisms adapt to heat stress is still incomplete. Using Metarhizium robertsii, an emerging model organism for assessing evolutionary processes, we report that pyruvate is in the van...
